Need advice from people who know how dropshadow works.

So I made the back text to this SNES Legend cover:



Using these settings (font size was 41).



And I not happy with it.
So people who understand drop shadow, what shoulds I change in the settings?

Fiddled bit more and landed on these settings:



Which resulted on this:



Good enough Drop Shadow?

Good enough cover?

What are you tryin to accomplish? A different shade of grey? Or how the drop shadow looks in general?

Something that makes the text pop up nicely, with some 3D effect.

You could try to make the drop shadow a little closer and maybe use embossing. Kinda give a 3d effect.
Personally the color grey you're using now blends in with the background to easy and it's hard to see, I'd go a little darker with that too.

Darker drop yes, I'd give the embossing a miss.

[Arseen]

Closer and darker.

Ok I'll give it a try.

Thank you

What you using to this Arseen? as I feel like I have got my drop shadows pretty good in Photoshop..........but unfortunately it is different terminology to those options.

But as what the others have said, definitely darker, closer and for me a little less "solid"........like a more shadowy shadow if you know what I mean.

I use Paint.net.

And I think I get what yoy mean.

I'll do a test to see what widening radius and blurr radius mean exactly, other options clear.
